I have use these tools in more a dozen engine rebuilds so far and a very valuable tool for me. I prefer to do a left to right sequence for removal and installation. I can not imagine myself without these gadgets.

Same set up I've got, I also have 12 PVC spacers for holding the cylinders. Never had to use heat myself, so try it without first.
